| Before I was born I'm told Roms would often tap dance.
It was common amongst Romani families to have to give a song or a dance when getting together. My Great grandparents would give a tap dance where as my grandfathers and all his brothers and sisters would give a song.
Does anyone else recall of this on their family?
Does anyone recall tap dancing? |

lol, I know he was Naomi Campbell. The band I believe are Spanish Gitanos though I'm not sure if he has gypsy blood. I read on a site that his kako was Cristóbal Reyes. Reyes I think is a big Gitanos family like Smith, Lee and Cooper are with Romanichal. I think the Gipsy Kings are partly made up of Reyes family members.
I know what you mean about having to see. That and clapping of hands to the songs. 
'Pull up' was another phrase like 'give order'.
I've had it before when someone has played guitar and asked me to assist vocally. I've always got out of these situations luckily. |
